20. Consonant Digraphs
Last week we talked about consonant blends. You hear all the letters in a consonant blend. You will learn about other consonant combinations that stand for a single sound.

21. chat How many letters do you see in chat? How many sounds do you hear?
Which two letters stand for one sound?
When I see the letters ch in chat, I pronounce them as a single sound, /ch/, because ch is a consonant digraph.
But when I see the same letters in the word parachute, I pronounce them as /sh/.
The digraph ch can stand for different sounds, /ch/ and /sh/.
I also watch for the consonant digraphs sh, th, wh, ph, tch, and ng when I sound out words.

23. Read these words and then underline the consonant digraphs.
inchworm
photograph
cushion
 chaperone
thimble

25. Vocabulary Strategy for Unfamiliar Words
Context Clues Sometimes when you are reading, you come across a word you don’t know. How can you figure out what the word means? Look for context clues. Context clues are the words and sentences around the word. They can help you figure out the meaning of the word.

26. If not, use the words and sentences to predict a meaning for the word.
Read the words and sentences around the word you don’t know. Sometimes the author tells you what the word means.
If not, use the words and sentences to predict a meaning for the word.
Try that meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense?
As you read “Like the Good Old Days,” use context clues to help you understand the meanings of the vocabulary words.

54. Strategy: Ask Questions
Active readers ask themselves questions as they read. As you read, ask why certain things happen or why characters act as they do. The answers may not be given in a sentence, but you may be able to draw conclusions about them.

55. Draw Conclusions
A conclusion is a decision you reach after you think about details and facts.
As you read, think about the details and facts and use what you already know to draw conclusions about characters and the things that happen.

56. Read “How to Build an Adobe House
